Without being or seeming to be nieve, I have often wondered why they do not mount a simple wide roller on a freely pivoting frame in front of some of the vehicles used cross country such as the Volvo BV202's, as was used by the crab in the other war...... I realise it will not take out remote devices, but it would work against some of the less sophisticated weapons... and be a cheap fix, could possibly be done in field, but knowing the MOD it would involve 10 years of work, cost millions and not fit when it arrives... If it saved one life it would be money well spent.

Sometimes the unsophisticated can beat technology..



OK flame on..... I can stand the heat.
